Series: Fire gives rise to earth. Simply stated,
the ashes resulting from a fire belong to the
element earth. Earth, the yellow color on the
cover of this issue, is shown emerging out of fire, the red hue on
the cover. Whereas fire belongs to the south,earth represents the
middle. Therefore, in Buddhism, yellow or tones of the earth-color are
worn by Buddhist Sangha, to represent the MiddleWay, which does not
fa11 into views of annihilationism or eternalism.
